If you want something off the wall, how about adjusting the A10 scheduling to better favor top teams. Losses to lower ranked teams hurts big time and makes the resume awful. So, don’t allow VCU, Dayton and
Rhode Island to play road games at
LaSalle,
Fordham, etc....
Each year, that bad loss to a low ranked A10 team hurts. There odds go down when you play at home. Makes your win loss in conference look better which helps the smell test for those who only look at number of wins.
Bottom teams only play road games against the top 4 teams until they improve their competitiveness. Might also encourage them to get their act together.
Really off the wall, but if you want the A10 to get more teams in the tournament, stack the schedule for the top.
